Finally finished watching the 2007 Brit Awards the other day, after 3-4 days of interrupted viewing. Not too bad a production, as award shows go...

The beauty of taping something like that is that you can come and go as you please, and skip over the dullest bits, like CBC TV host George Strombolopisaurus, or whatever his name is. Booooring....but that could just be me....

Of course, the host in the U.K. was no prize either, on that end of the production. Some comic I've never heard of before, but I can be relatively bold in suggesting he's never heard of me, either, so we're even.

What was enjoyable were some of the innovative performances, especially The Scissor Sisters, and the Killers. Smokin'!!! Plus we discovered a few Brit acts whose name was familiar, but not their material. Some very pleasant surprises there.

And who knew Corrine Bailey Rae was British?? Go figure...

The only Canuck winner was Nelly Furtado, so maybe we should scraping that old sculpture of the Queen off of all our coins...

If you missed the show, the last 15 minutes or so featured a concert by Oasis, who I had frankly forgotten how much I enjoyed them, back in their heyday.

And it only took 3-4 days, to get through the 2-hour show!!

Chow for now!!

Hey, shhh...keep it down!! I'm trying to appear relevant to younger readers...

I know George is some big doody at CBC, I just tend to drift off whenever I see him on anything. Personal effect, I suppose. Could be the sideburns...

Note to self - Scissor Sisters "bad". Next time consider Snow Patrol??
